I was really hoping to see the O11 Air mini have top 360 rad support like the O11D Mini but with the ATX support. I can't imagine that it would have been that difficult to make the depth a few more mm to make that possible. Maybe it can be modded to fit because my 360 rad is 397 and this thing is 400? I'm happy to see ATX support but it means I have to choose between buying a new power supply or a new AIO if I want to port my system over to this case. Any one know if any of this is possible?

You can tell the D-Mini is in daily use. No way that machine is in storage. I would swap out the fans on the Galahad AIO for Uni-Fans and set them as intake so as to have positive pressure in the case. It's definitely Negative pressure now. Sure it doesn't look as nice but the Brushed aluminum discs on the front of the Uni-Fans can be peeled off and put on the hub on the back of them. You can use a heat gun or hair dryer to loosen them up but I just peel em right off.

The biggest difference for me is the air mini fits atx psu's and the dynamic mini only fits sfx.
I was at microcenter this weekend and almost walked out with the dynamic mini before I saw it only fit sfx psu's. I have a full atx build I have been itching to transplant but I'm not trying to buy a new psu.
I do air cooling so I don't care about the inordinate amount of time the review spends talking about rad sizes.

Thank you so much for doing a video like this. So detailed, informative and a great comparison video. I was really stuck on deciding whether to get a D mini or Air mini. This has really helped me out. For my pc needs, although I like that the Air mini can fit an atx PSU, I finally decided on going with the D mini, mainly because it is a bit longer in length so I can put 3 fans at the bottom to mirror the 3 fans on top.

Why is PC World so drunk on Lian cases? Its so rare to see anything actually good on here. My favorite case is the Cooler Master Cosmos. Back in the day I took that thing on a flight from Las Vegas to Miami to get it on a cruse ship (for work) sailed around for a week and then flew it back to Vegas. I don't remember how much it weighed but the cost to fly it was around 200 dollars.

awesome side by side comparison was definitely very good style video considering it is basically the same case slightly retooled. Now all they need to do is make a 011D mini that supports ATX PSU's the the o11 air mini not having triple fan support on bottom of the case is a deal breaker for me unfortunately.

Correction: The O11D Mini does also support E-ATX mobos (the exact size as the O11 Air Mini: up to 280mm width. Thanks to the commenters who pointed this out. By our powers combined, we caught a spec discrepancy on the Lian Li website. -Alaina

you forgot to note on the rear comparison that the psu sizes are different as the 011d mini can only fit sfx power supplies and the air mini can fit normal atx power supplies the placement was not the main difference.

Nice information I-m really excited about building my PC and actually thinking about getting the 011 air mini which motherboard would support this one best?
